Jerry Alford

Senior Farming Advisor

Jerry has experience in arable and mixed farming having run the family farm in Devon for 25 years. Jerry is interested in a systems approach to farming and looks at farms as a whole system rather than just a mix of enterprises or a series of crops in rotation. He is also looking at options to reduce cultivations within organic rotations and the adoption of more agroecological and organic type systems in non-organic farms. His role as a Senior Farming Advisor involves giving advice to organic farmers as well as farms looking at organic conversion and adoption of agroecological practices.
